My research applies pragmatist philosophy to foundational questions in artificial intelligence and science. I develop irenic pragmatism - a methodological framework that extends Arthur Fine's Natural Ontological Attitude - not only to clarify the structure of philosophical disputes in AI ethics, philosophy of language, and quantum mechanics, but to offer constructive ways of resolving them, My work advances positive accounts of linguistic competence in large language models, addresses accountability gaps in the deployment of AI systems, and proposes a pluralist yet disciplined interpretive framework for quantum theory.
